Quilts Japan #142

Quilts Japan 142
This is the September 2011 issue of the best-known Japanese quilt magazine and it dedicates 161 pages to classic quilting: traditional patchwork the American way! The declared inspiration comes from the time of the "House in the prairie", which the world famous TV series was taken from at the beginning of the Eighties!!! And just like the author of this book and protagonists of the TV series, Laura Ingalls Wilder, underlined many times when she was still alive, she aimed essentially at preserving the stories of her childhood for the young people of the future, similarly this issue of Quilts Japan gives us back the magic, untouched, atmosphere of the USA between the 19th and 20th century, with typical patterns - such as log cabins and Ohio stars - revisited with all the gentleness and the skillfulness of Japanese patchwork designers. Among them, you'll find the flower quilts by Suzuko Koseki. This magazine also features a free booklet with several paper templates, to help you arranging the different shapes to assemble in your quilts! Japanese texts, but with such plain patterns that you'll have no doubt!
